Police Summoned to Disperse an
Orderly Meeting of Catholics.
NEW YORK, Jan. 17.-An extraordina-
rily large crowd, estimated as high as
1900 people, members OF st. Stephens
Catholic Church, crowded into the school
room in the basement OF that church to-
night to hold meeting to protest AGAINST
Father McGlynn's removal from the pas
torate OF that church. After the meeting
was organized Miss Sara j. j. CatTrey,
Principal OF Public School No. 81, was
introduced and read series of resolu-
tiOns. The resolutions declare that his
faithful flock have been insulted and out
ragged by the manner of his removal from
st. Stephens Church, his own home for
twenty-one years. and the refuge of the
poor and afflicted; that the parishion-
ers. OF st. Stephens Church abstain
from any further support, pecuniary
or otherwise, while Rev. Arthur j. Dom
nelly remains in charge, and tnat a COM
mittee be appointed to wait upon Arch
bishop Corrigan to inform hun of the ac-
tiOn taken by the parishioners Of ST..
Stephens and report fully, and request Of
him the reason or reasons for which DR..
McGlynn has been deprived OF the charge
he has held 80 long with such honor to
himself and benefit to the church. The
question upon the adoption OF these resO-
lutions was answered with a tremendous
aye. No negatives were heard. Then
a committee Of thirty ladies aud gentle
men was appointed to wait upon the
Archbishop. The names OF the commit
tee had hardly been announced wnen
word was brought in that Father
Arthur J. D0nnely, the new pas
tor, had sent for the police TO
clear out the church. A messenger
was sent in to order the people to leave.
DIR. Cary announced the orders to the
vast congregation and requested them TO
leave the building quietly and in an
orderly manner. This was done, ana the
congregation left the building, indignant
ly denounclng the priest. AS the people
came ont they heard the steady tramp OF
"a body Of men aud saw marching toward
them a body OF police with drawn clubs.
They mad been summoned by Fathe 7
Donnelly to clear the church. They were
tUp late.
Tho gathering TO encourage and mdorse
Father McGlynn, held in Cooper Union
to-right, was memorable mtetinl. Every
5acH Of the large hall was occupied by
those who crowded there in response To
tre call tor meeting OF Indignation
AGAINST the powers and influences that
rad deposed DR.. McGiynn. There were
= y yeral hundred ladies present and men oi
All denominations. Tue meering had

under arrest. The Coroner says t1A
scene of the tragedy was hldeous TO be-

over the floor and wall. The verdict n
the jury runs thus: We, the undersi gnf
ed, lind that Elsie Walker came TO nSr

Anthony Handy" Elsie, who was ~
years old, is said to have been a brigh5
and sprightly girl and to ave regardA

10 appear unconcerned his companidsA
detected from his occasionally terroet

Al the time little attention was paid to

t1ons OF the boy murderer became PLAZA
and no was accused. After a while ha
admitted causing the unfortunate girls
death but protested that be did not intend

the cause Of fatal accident. His cor =

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE Sergeant
alarms OF the House to-day stopped the
pay of Representative Curtin, OF Pennsyl-
vania, upon the representation of tie
First Comptroller of tne Treasury that an
examination Of Mr.. Curtin's accounts as
Minister to Russia showed tnat he was
in arrears TO the government 5000.
representative Curtin stated tonight
that while it was true that the list of
debtors to the government published
last summer by the Register of the Treas
ury contained his name as technical
debtor in his accounts as Minister to
Russia in the sum OF 5000, he knew of
no recent action in tue matter. The
course OF the Sergeanl-at-Arms in pro-
ce9dIng 10 stop Mr.. Curtin's pay was
suggested by the First Comptroller in a
letter TO the Sergeant-at-Arms to-day.
Possibly Mr.. Curtin has not heard Of
this. Stopping the pay OF Congressman
was decided TO be unlawful by the courts
in the case OF Representative Thomas =.

PEREMPToRY CHALLENGES
An Increased Allowance Not IL
Dupnaut 10 the CoDsfituttOu

An Increased Allowance Not EC-
pugnant 10 the Constitution.
WASHINGTON. Jan. IA decision
was rendered by the Supreme Court of
the United States to-day in the murder
case of John Hayes, plaintiff in error,
against the State OF Missouri. Hayes
was tried in the Criminal Court OF st.
Louis in 1882, for the murder OF man
named Mueller, on August 2G, 1881. The
jury found him guilty and he Was SEN
fenced to death. He has brought his case
to this court by writ of error, upon the
ground tnat the law OF Missouri provides
that in capital cases in cities having a
population OF more than 100000 the State
shall be allowed fifteen peremptory
challenges TO jurors. while elsewhere in
Missouri the State is allowed in such
cases only eight. This provision of the
law, the y isoner maintains, operated to
his disadvantage in the trial In st. Louis,
and was a dental TO bim OF the ''equal
protection of the laws" enjoyed by the
fourteenth amendment of the Federal
Consultation. This court holds that al
lowing the State fifteen peremptory chal-
lsnges in capital cases tried IN clIies
containing population OF more
than 100000, is simply providing
against the difficulty OF securing in such
cases impartial iurIes in cities OF tbat
size which does not exist in other uor-
tlons of the State. so far from defeating It
may furnish a means of giving that quail
protection OF The laws" whica the Four
teen amendment declares shall not be
denied, There is nothing in the legisla-
tiOn Of Missouri on this point which is re-
pugnant to that amendment, and the
judgment of the Supreme Court OF the
State is affirmed. The opinion is by JUS
tiCe Field.

NEW YORK, Jan. 17.-There was no
general and concerted attempt by the
coal-carrying railroads TO resume the
movement of coal from New Jersey de-
livery points today. The Delaware and
Hudson Company TOOK 1862 men from N "
York on tugs to their Wenawken docks
and put them to work under the pTotec
tion OF 100 deputy sherifs ana sOEe local
police. At the Erie docks in WeEnwken
the strikers, con rary to eXpecta ions, re-
fused to return, although the company
offered TO take them back at their own
terms. District Assembly No. 40 pro-
hIblted the Erie strikers from resuming
work until all OF the companies had re-
instated their men. The Delaware and
Lackawanna Company moved no coal,
but say they expect To begin to-
morrow. The Lehigh Valley Com
pany and the Pennsylvania railroad
delivered large quantities OF coal under
police protection, principally to large
manufacturing consumers and retailers
who carry IL from the railroad yards by
private transportation, though the trans
fer is made by the coal com pantes. The
New jersey Central railroad undertook
to press men from the car shops al
